Description
This Alcatel 1915 LMM contains an Alcatel
DFB laser with monolithically integrated
electro-absor ption modulator (ILM). This
chip provides much lower dispersion
penalties than a directly modulated DFB,
without the complexity of LiN bO3 external
modulators. The Alcatel 1915 LMM is
optimized for 10 Gbit/s TDM transmission
systems.
Features
7-pin package with either GPO or K
connector RF input
Very low dispersion penalty over 80 Km
for 10 Gbit/s operation
InGaAsP monolithically integrated DFB laser and
modulator chip
High frequency RF connector package with
50 RF impedance
Low drive voltage ( 2 Vpp)
Internal optical isolator
High power available
Wavelength selection according to ITU-T G.692
Applications
STM-64 and OC-192 intermediate and long
reach WDM transmission systems
Terminals for submarine WDM transmission
systems
